Mendis to Trott,
1 run,
cagey start from Trott getting back to drive to cover, brings Bopara back on strike

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
Bopara sniffs the ball in defence

14.3

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
very straight from Mendis, as always, and Bopara is more confident on his defence this time

14.4

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
Sangakkara is very confident with a stumping appeal! Might just be to heap pressure on Bopara as he played and missed in defence. His foot just popped up for a moment but it came down in time. Close though. Something has to give soon with Bopara

Mendis to Trott,
no run,
wonderful bowling has Sangakkara up in appeal again! After spinning a few away this one comes back and through the gate created by Trott's drive. Close to an inside edge, close to a stumping but neither in the end.

Mendis to Bopara,
1 run,
a misfield from Malinga means a nervy single becomes more comfortable

16.2

Mendis to Trott,
3 runs,
not entirely sure Trott read this but he's benefited from another misfield, chopping backwards of point to earn three

16.3

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
Bopara is playing so late, clearly has no idea which way it's spinning

16.4

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
more flight on this, ended up half-volley length but because Bopara is so unsure what's going on he can't time his drive

16.5

Mendis to Bopara,
no run,
lovely bowling, everything is straight on a length but spinning in different directions. England making it look impossible

16.6

Mendis to Bopara,
1 run,
an outside edge trickles down point and Bopara hares off for a tight single. In his excitement Dilshan, who was backing up the throw, tumbled over

Mendis to Trott,
no run,
Trott forward and stern in defence. He'll be loving all this scrapping

Mendis to Morgan,
1 run,
dropped! Samaraweera puts down a sitter! Morgan misread one that spun away from him as he aimed a drive it swirled off the edge straight down towards deep point who ran in, steadied himself, and inexplicably spilled the chance

1 run,
this time he works with the angle, picking off a single to deep square

33.3

Mendis to Morgan,
no run,
very close call for Morgan, playing back and missing in front of the stumps. Struck bang in front but it pitched outside leg. Only just

33.4

Mendis to Morgan,
no run,
Mendis has the measure of Morgan here, can't read him

33.5

Mendis to Morgan,
no run,
again Morgan cagey in defence. Mendis spinning them only a fraction, but in opposite directions

33.6

Mendis to Morgan,
no run,
Morgan playing Mendis off the pitch, which makes it seem rushed and tentative

Mendis to Swann,
OUT,
gone! That didn't last long. Swann goes for the reverse slog-sweep and is stone dead. He set himself so early the bowler hadn't delivered. England coming off the rails in the Powerplay again
